This rack-mount kit provides hardware for mounting the chassis in most standard 19-inch or Telco-type equipment racks. You can mount the chassis in most standard 19-inch or Telco-type equipment racks, with either end of the chassis at the front of the rack. Ideally, you should be able to access both ends of the router without having to remove it from the rack. Because the interface processor end provides access to the power switch, processor slots, and all status LEDs, it is recommended that you mount the router with the interface processor end at the front, or most accessible side, of the rack.The rack-mount kit comprises two chassis ears that attach to the sides of the chassis at either the interface processor or noninterface processor end, four fasteners to secure the ears to the chassis, and eight fasteners to secure the ears to the mounting strips or posts on the equipment rack.
